This research investigated plant extracts as a source of potential new actives in the nutritional, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical fields.Moringa oleifera, which is extensively known for its nutritional properties, has been investigated in this work by preparation, characterization, and evaluation of the antioxidant (FRAP, DPPH, ORAC, and PCL test), a
Hydraulic Simulation of Rural Water Distribution Network Aiming at Reduced Leakage (Case Study: Ghorakhk Village, Binalood Region)
In water distribution systems, pressure is one of the most important factors affecting leakage.Accordingly pressure management is an integral part of the leak reduction strategy.The main purpose of pressure management is to minimize network leakage by providing minimal pressure on network nodes.Using the pressure control valves (PRV) in the water n
Interactions of pathogens and irritant chemicals in land-applied sewage sludges (biosolids)
Abstract Background Fertilisation of land with processed sewage sludges, which often contain low levels of pathogens, endotoxins, and trace amounts of industrial and household chemicals, has become common practice in Western Europe, the US, and Canada.Local governments, however, are increasingly restricting or banning the practice in response to re
Protocol for a controlled, randomized, blind, clinical trial to assess the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation associated with balance training using games in the postural balance of elderly people [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the additional effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on training postural balance with the use of video games in aged.Methods: This is a blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial protocol, with elderly people of both genders.Participants will be randomized into three training groups: Group 1
